NFL has requested to review New Orleans Saints practice tapes

The NFL has requested practice tape from the New Orleans Saints' minicamp session, a source has confirmed.

The request comes on the heels of a skirmish that broke out during the Wednesday morning's practice between several members of the offense and defense.

It is not clear if the league has reviewed the tapes yet, or exactly what the league hopes to determine by viewing the tapes.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league was not going to comment on if it had requested or received tape of the Saints' minicamp. Although he did note that "all clubs are subject to having their OTA video reviewed. That's how the OTA rules are enforced."

The NFL recently docked the Seattle Seahawks two scheduled OTA sessions for violating contact rules in the Collective Bargaining Agreement that was signed in August.

The league likely won't find the Saints in violation of the rule, as all five minicamp session were open to the media and the workouts were done mostly at half speed, wearing only helmets, jerseys and shorts.
